This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about how to get yourself back on track around the house when you’ve just come out of the newborn stage.

I was out with friends, and a new mom commented that she’d just gotten out of the newborn phase with her daughter and was loving the fact that her cute little baby could play on her own for a smidgen – but several months was a long time to be out of the habit of cooking and cleaning regularly compared to pre-baby!

She was feeling the pull to get self-disciplined again and start doing things around the house, but I could tell it was definitely a “should” and something that would take a lot of force.

Here’s what I told her, as the gentler version.

Today we’re talking about why you can still be productive as a mom (if you aren’t the artsy planner type!), even if you hate bullet journaling.

 

Because I used to think planning was just for ultra-organized moms with binders and planners.

 

But that’s not me – on so many levels.

 

Today’s topics:

·                    Why your expectations around planning may be what’s derailing you

·                    Whether you like the artistic aspects of bullet journaling, or they just make it harder

·                    What you need most in your daily journaling (IF you need it at all!)

 

If you don’t find it helpful, it’s out the window. Like, yesterday.

 

You have my permission.

 

You’ve got this!

Alyssa

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about how to break through to your next level in business by listening to your inner guidance.

 

Have you ever thought about bringing God into your decision-making process? Of asking Him whether you should launch that thing this month, or wait till next? Or if your current income cap is where you’re meant to stay – the sweet spot for your business – or if He’s got something else for you? More for you?

 

You should be asking these questions as an entrepreneur. A Christian entrepreneur, especially.

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about whether you’re adding unnecessary steps to your workday – and here’s the fix!

 

Is there something in your email funnel, or on your website, or in your client welcome packet, that actually shouldn’t be there? That’s adding additional steps for both you and your clients?

 

You need to take off the template blinders for a moment, and see if you’re actually making a bunch of annoying work for yourself by not streamlining & customizing this process to YOU.

Today we’re talking about mom guilt: here’s why it’s so hard for you to release your own housework expectations and start a new routine for your family.

 

I’m sure this scenario is familiar to you: you go to the fridge to start supper, but then realize you somehow forgot to thaw the meat for tonight’s meal.

 

Which means you’re out of luck on that one and you have to come up with an entire entrée on the fly.

 

After you’ve dealt with what to cook and checking for ingredients and actually getting it going, how’s your self-talk looking?

 

Today’s topics:

·                    The inner mindset game of adapting to your mom day

·                    Where you’re not giving yourself enough grace in your daily life

·                    Why shifting your self-expectations isn’t really the hard part about perfectionism

 

What if we just opened our day with a plan (that we already surrendered to God), made our way through it with whatever adaptations we needed, and then rejoiced at the end in a day well done?

 

What kind of mental relief would that leave for you today?

 

You’ve got this!

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about the balance between investing time for a big life change vs. going a little at a time (and when that’s good enough).

 

Some coaches will tell you that if you’re going to make a big life change – like losing weight or really learning a new sales technique or turning yourself into an expert painter – that you need to go all in.

 

I mean ALL. IN.

 

I’m talking weekend course taking, evening journaling, everything on your podcast listen list is this person, skipping your regular routine and chores and cooking in favor of the program’s homework, all that sort of stuff.

 

They say it’s because you need to push the reset button to give your brain a break.

 

*Other* coaches say that it’s all bunk. That all you need to do is a little a day. That the only way to eat an elephant is a bite at a time.

 

So who’s right? Or neither of them?

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about how to make yourself “just do it” even when you’re of steam – aka, I’m making an exception to my normal rule!

Now, you guys know by now that I don’t do the “just push through your to-do list” stuff. 

But every once in a while, there’s an exception. Something came up (like a sick kid) and you HAVE to get an extra load of laundry done just before bed.

Or you had a super bad day and still haven’t gotten to the one most important thing on your to-do list, and it’s due tomorrow.

Real infrequent things there, but we know they happen.

So what do you do, the unbusy way, when you’re in a situation like this?

Today we’re talking about why waiting for a huge burst of energy to clear your to-do list isn’t working for you – because you need to do this instead!

We’re going to tackle the myth going around the mom productivity space that if you can just wait for (or create) that magic burst of energy, you’re going to clear your to-do list, get like twenty things done, and cue angels singing (aka, everything gets fixed about your mom day).

Ah, no – that’s not how it works.

I think this “burst of energy” thinking is actually a myth – and a really dangerous one that’s holding you back from ever right-sizing your own supermom life.

You’ve got this!

This is motivation Monday, and today we’re talking about what happens if you don’t like what your business coach just told you – are you being uncoachable, or following your intuition?

 

Because there are two conflicting things going on in the business coaching arena just now.

 

One side tells everyone, “Listen to your own gut! Never make a decision based on someone else’s feedback!”

 

And the other side declares, “You hired the experts for a reason. Do whatever they tell you and it’s going to work.”

 

So where’s the middle ground between these two *very* different advice-taking philosophies? And what happens when you and your coach disagree?

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about when you should schedule your to-dos if you’re still not crossing off enough of them.

So my latest client came to me with this question, which I thought was so great I wanted to share with you: 

“I’m steadily working my way through my giant to-do list, which feels really good to do. I can see I’m making progress. But what concerns me is that I’m *still* not getting enough done in a day! I’m still putting too many tasks on my mid-afternoon project time, and just not getting them crossed off. It’s like I magically run out of energy when I arrive at that time of day. Which is really annoying because I’ve specifically set aside that hour or so for me to catch up on my to-do list! Can you help me?”

Find out what I told her in today’s episode!
